Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for restoring venous valve function. In some embodiments, for example, a system includes an implantable coil and a deployment device therefor. The implantable coil has a non-coiled configuration in a first state and a coiled configuration in a second state configured to compress incompetent valves. The deployment device includes a handle, an outer sheath, a needle, and a mandrel. The handle includes a first actuator and a second actuator. The outer sheath includes a side opening proximate a distal end. The needle is operatively coupled to the first actuator. The mandrel is operatively coupled to the second actuator. The mandrel is configured to push the implantable coil through a needle tip of the needle, which allows the implantable coil to transition from the first state within the deployment device to the second state outside of the deployment device such as around a vein.

Abstract: Some systems include a memory, and a processor coupled to the memory, wherein the processor is configured to: identify one or more spatial markers in a medical data-based image of a patient, identify one or more spatial markers in a real-time perceived image of the patient, wherein the one or more spatial markers in the medical data-based image correspond to an anatomical feature of the patient and the one or more spatial markers in the real-time perceived image correspond to the anatomical feature of the patient, superimpose the medical data-based image of the patient with the real-time perceived image of the patient, and align the one or more spatial markers in the medical data-based image with the respective one or more spatial markers in the real-time perceived image.

Abstract: Three separate models for retaining a women's shoe cover for high heeled and/or fashion shoe apparel and other footwear of various shapes and sizes within an expanding shoe cover, to protect, cover, encase, and improve shoe apparels longevity from environmental weather conditions is disclosed. All three models are manufactured with an elastic rubber-like material which is pliable for shoe cover elasticity, while utilizing a compliant material allowing for multiple colors and translucence. The three separate models vary, while having a sole, a toe portion, an upper portion with an inside portion, and exterior portions adjoined with the heel portion for one continuous integral unit.

Abstract: Lumbo sacral orthosis (apparatus) the anterior and posterior portions of the brace consist of a medical grade ABS plastic. They are lined with Velcro laminate foam of ½ inch thickness which is self conforming to eliminate pressure points. The anterior plastic has three compression pull straps which attach to three D-ring straps on the posterior section. The anterior straps are threaded through the D-ring and allow the patients apply the appropriate tension to the apparatus. The six straps are attached to the plastic via brass oxide rivets.

Abstract: Lumbo Sacral Orthosis (apparatus) is comprised of the anterior and posterior rigid medical grade ABS heat moldable plastic. The anterior and posterior panels are lined with foam covered with a Velcro hook and loop fastener type material. These are affixed to the panels by a hook and loop fastener. The anterior and posterior panels are placed on the torso of the patient with an adjustable strap system consisting of elastic material with an internal plastic moldable insert, which is attached to the posterior panel via two brass oxide rivets. The strapping system is attached to the anterior panel via hook and loop material. This allows for the patient to apply desired tension. The secondary strapping system is affixed to the posterior panel via two brass oxide rivets attached to heat moldable plastic material. The anterior panel secondary strapping system is affixed to the panel via two stainless steel rivets. The anterior and posterior secondary strapping system is then connected via a buckle system.

Abstract: A magnetic field sensing and canceling circuit for use with a cathode ray tube (CRT) has a closed loop system consisting of flux gate sensors to measure external magnetic fields and magnetic field cancellation coils around the perimeter of the faceplate of the CRT to cancel the fields and thus minimize color and positional ac image distortion. The coils are mounted on an enclosure fabricated of a high permeability material and are positioned around the perimeter of the CRT's faceplate. Four of the coils are parallel to the top, bottom, and sides of the enclosure opening and a fifth coil is wound around the enclosure adjacent the CRT faceplate. The magnetic flux gate sensors provide output signals that are functions of the detected fields. These signals control the current in the magetic field cancellation coils and thus control the cancellation fields.
